"No, not as there is time to talk"

Just thinking about how hard that is for this introvert to remember sometimes.

@wordswithnima I follow way more than I can actively follow/read but my favorites, the ones I actually get around to more often than *never*, are interesting miscellany (Kottke, Austin Kleon, The Marginalian) and poem-of-the-day types.

I'm also a big fan of Joe Posnanski's "JoeBlogs", Diana Butler Bass's "The Cottage", and Richard Rohr's daily meditations.

Can't say I manage to read all of those every time, but they have a better shot with me than most.

I still miss del.icio.us.

Like, I *really* miss it.

I still collect bookmarks reflexively, and I just don't know what to do with them; they just pile up in random places and periodically make me think about starting a blog or something to share them.

I won't, but I kinda want to.

Not sure I have a point, here. Just saying.

@wordsmith Ha! I just wish I could find more of the wordery I have come to expect on the birdsite. It's one of the few things keeping me there (that and live sports), and I just haven't spent the time to see how much of it I could track down here.
Anybody still around? Having one of those days where I miss this place (or at least the idea of it).

Friendly reminder: getting COVID can suuuck. I'm about 4 days in, and tomorrow looks to be the first day I seriously entertain returning to my remote job. Haven't been knocked out like this in a *very* long time (for reference, I've got Crohn's disease & have been knocked out my share of times). 0/10 would not recommend

Stay safe out there, friends. And take care of & for each other.

@425suzanne Oh boy, do I feel this. Time was, a new social network popping up would get me all "woohoo! let's do this!" but now my reaction is more "ugh, I've gotta rebuild AGAIN?"

I don't know how to get around that feeling, and I know none of this is helpful, but you are definitely not alone.

@wordsmith @Algot already appreciative of his presence in my feed!
